Let’s get something straight. If your standards feel “too much,” it’s not because they are. It’s because you’ve been abandoning yourself for so long that self-respect feels aggressive. This episode is not gentle. It’s not reassuring. And it’s not here to make you feel better about what you’re tolerating. It’s here to tell the truth. In this episode of You Have the Power – The Road to Truth, Freedom and Real Connection, Darla Ridilla dismantles the lie that standards scare men away and names w...

72: Stop Saying “I’m Fine” - The Lie That’s Destroying Your Relationships
If you’re still saying “I’m fine” when you’re not, this episode is going to hit you in the body. Not because you don’t know what you feel. But because silence once kept you safe. In this episode, Darla Ridilla breaks down the lie high-achieving women have been taught to live by and why it’s quietly eroding their relationships. You’ll hear the moment that changed everything. Not a blowup. Not a dramatic confrontation. A pause. A pause where the body knew a line had been crossed. A pause that c...

71: The Truth About Being the Woman Who Does It All — And Why You Don’t Have To With Amanda Bearce
Part 3 of The Magnetic Mother: Rewriting the Story of Womanhood takes us into the lived experience of the woman who “does it all” — the high-achieving woman who holds the household, the career, the kids, the emotional temperature of the family… and then wonders why she ends every day drained. This episode exposes the deeper truth: you don’t feel exhausted because you’re weak. You feel exhausted because you’ve been living disconnected from your Presence, Agency, and Empowerment — the three pha...

70: The Weight You Feel Isn’t Guilt — It’s Truth Asking for a Voice
This episode isn’t for the woman who’s “struggling a little.” It’s for the woman who ends every day with that tightening in her chest — the ache that whispers, “I didn’t do enough.” Here’s the truth no one ever told you: That ache isn’t guilt. It’s your body begging you to stop living someone else’s story. High-achieving women are suffocating under invisible emotional labor — carrying responsibilities they never agreed to, absorbing tension that doesn’t belong to them, and performing a versio...

In this opening episode of The Magnetic Mother: Rewriting the Story of Womanhood series, I sit down with licensed mental health therapist Jaime Weatherholt for a radically honest, emotionally grounded conversation about the silent weight almost every woman carries: mom guilt — not the surface-level version we laugh off, but the deep internal tug-of-war that keeps so many high-achieving women feeling like they’re always falling short. Jaime specializes in helping women heal trauma throug...

67: When Speaking Truth Feels Dangerous — and Why You Must Do It Anyway
When you’ve been silenced your whole life — by family, religion, or systems of control — telling the truth can feel like the most dangerous thing you’ll ever do. In this raw and powerful episode (episode 2 of the From Silence to Solitude series), Darla Ridilla shares her personal journey through the layers of silencing — from childhood threats and betrayal to religious and workplace systems that punished honesty and rewarded obedience. She reveals how cultural conditioning, gaslighting, and p...

63: When the Unthinkable Happens - Grief, Motherhood & the Search for Hope With Eryn Elder
This is the grief we don’t talk about - the kind that breaks your body, shatters your identity, and forces you to rebuild from nothing. In this opening episode of our new series, The Cost of Carrying It All, we explore what it means to grieve deeply, fully, and in a world that often turns away.

62: Messy, Beautiful, and Real - Healing and Emotional Resilience Through Art with Susan Day
Sometimes words just aren’t enough. You can analyze, journal, and talk through your pain—but your body still remembers what your mind is trying to forget. In this episode, Darla sits down with Mindful Arts Therapist Susan Day, who’s redefining what healing looks like through creativity, mindfulness, and play.

61: Beyond Numbing - Learning to Feel Instead of Escape
We all have our go-to escapes—food, wine, shopping, scrolling—when life feels overwhelming. But here’s the hard truth: most of what we call coping is really numbing. It silences the emotions we’ve never been taught to process and leaves us stuck in cycles of shame, self-criticism, and quick fixes that don’t last. In this solo episode of Healing Beyond Words: Food, Art, and the Path Back to Self, I connect the dots between emotional eating and creative expression—showing how our bodies often r...

Let’s get brutally honest: most men were never taught how to feel. They were taught to perform. Provide. Power through. But not to feel. In this unfiltered episode, Liz Beachy joins me for a raw conversation about how emotional suppression—especially in men—destroys connection and breeds dysfunction. We unpack why so many relationships fail not because of lack of love, but because of the lack of emotional safety. Liz is a Resilience Coach and creator of the Emotional Resilience Accelerator, a...
